PM Modi has been a staunch supporter of sports and fitness as is evident from his various initiatives for the nation. He’s seen encouraging youngsters to pick up sports every year on the National Sports Day which is celebrated on the birthday of legendary Hockey Player Dhyan Chand. He further launched the fit India movement in 2019 with a view to make fitness an integral part of our daily lives.
The Government of India, under the leadership of Narendra Modi, came up with Khelo India Programme. It aims at improving India’s sports culture at the grass-root level through organized talent identification, structured sporting competitions and infrastructure development.
